A Celebration of Western Movies… Pardner!
Charlie Landsborough sings Vincent (Starry Starry Night)
written by Don McLean
“Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.”

I found this to be a moving and powerful experience.
But that’s just me.
A Rose among the poppies.
I just couldn’t stop taking pics.
Some were good.
Others … not so much.
Yeah … I know this is way too much.
But this is the last of them.

Vincent (Starry Starry Night)
Sung by Lianne La Havas – written by Don McLean
“A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm
themselves at it, and passers-by
only see a wisp of smoke”
Gremlins visited my Blog the other day.
First they posted the wrong song!
Then they made my one of my images so HUGE
– that it threw the whole post out of whack.
I fixed all this.
So I’m reposting Lianne La Havas’s version of Don McLean’s
songwriting masterpiece Vincent (“Starry Starry Night”).
Because it is so beautiful I don’t want anyone to miss it.
There has to be at least 100 versions/interpretations of McLean’s song,
but I like this one the best. It’s the feeling she puts into it.
Inspired works worthy of Vincent Van Gogh.
My eldest brother, Richard, sent me photos that he took of the exhibition (Beyond Van Gogh) when it visited Edmonton.
I’m gratefully using some of these.
Thanks Richard.
So we enter the larger hall now:
The displays are very impressive and wonderous.
Moving constantly around the room to music.
I apologize for my very amateur photos, but this short video will give you some idea no still photos could really capture this.
I wouldn’t say that your experience would be as glorious as this.
I don’t feel ours was.
My guess it that the production quality varies from venue to venue.
That might be dependent upon the facility?
In Calgary
Beyond Van Gogh = $50 per person.
I also wouldn’t say that this is for everyone.
I studied Art so it has a strong appeal for me.
For some however, they’d probably wish they
were watching the football game.
More coming …
